Episode Notes

A Fresh Look at Norway’s Business Landscape If you’re planning to expand into the Nordic region, Norway should be high on your list. With its strong economy, transparent legal system, and commitment to sustainability, Norway has become a prime location for both startups and established companies. But like any market, understanding the local business framework is essential before taking your first steps. To make that easier, Scandicorp has just released the Doing Business in Norway guide — a comprehensive overview of what it takes to launch and run a company in one of Europe’s most forward-thinking economies. Why This Guide Stands Out Starting a business abroad often involves complex paperwork, local regulations, and cultural differences. Scandicorp’s new guide breaks down these barriers by explaining every stage clearly — from selecting the right corporate structure to registering your business with Norwegian authorities. The guide is particularly valuable for those starting a business in Norway as a foreigner. It details the legal requirements such as EEA residency rules for directors, capital thresholds for different company types, and how to set up a branch of a foreign company. There’s also a clear explanation of the country’s 22% corporate tax rate, VAT regulations, and exemptions on capital gains and dividends — all written in an accessible, practical format. Opportunities for Entrepreneurs Norway’s government actively supports new ventures through grants and incentives in key industries like renewable energy, seafood, maritime innovation, and technology. The guide shows how entrepreneurs can access programs from the Norwegian Research Council and other funding bodies aimed at fostering sustainable growth. In addition, Scandicorp provides ongoing administrative and legal support, helping businesses maintain compliance and focus on growth. From corporate governance to financial reporting, the company ensures that foreign investors can operate with confidence in Norway’s well-regulated market.
